Tyler Froberg (@farmer.froberg)

Proving that that tradition and modernity don't always clash, fourth generation farmer Tyler Froberg is also a TikTok natural. In between farming tips and deep-dives on crops like okra and jicama, Froberg spoofs the wholesome farmer trope in videos about growing jelly beans and candy peanuts.

Leah Penniman (@leahpenniman)

Leah Penniman is the co-founder and director of Soul Fire, a farm in New York state dedicated to "uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system." Penniman and her organization do this by using regenerative farming practices, training BIPOC "farmer-activists," and building urban gardens in the area.

Hannah Jackson (@theredshepherdess)

Raised in the city of Wirral, England, Hannah Jackson fell in love with farm life when she saw a lamb being born. And now she is defying the assumptions of the male-dominated shepherding industry with her bright red hair, and just you know, the fact that she's a woman. Also, you will be amazed at the antics she and her team of border collies get up to.

Hannah Neeleman (@ballerinafarm)

As a mother of six, Juilliard-trained ballerina, 2021 Mrs. Utah, and now—along with her husband—the proprietor of a pig farm, it's safe to say that Hannah Neeleman is an overachiever. Follow along with this endearing family for the farmlife fantasy of your Instagram dreams.

Morgan Gold (@goldshawfarm)

Vermont-based farmer Morgan Shaw gives you the fully immersive farm experience by attaching tiny cameras, POV-style to various fowl. He also gives them awesome names like a rooster named "Alexander Hamilhen" and a barn cat named "Pablo Escobarn." What's not to love?

Niki Irving (@flourishflowerfarm)

For the visuals alone, Niki Irving's Instagram is worth following. Her page is a vibrant display of colorful blooms sprinkled with dew. Irving, who runs the flower farm with her husband, also offers workshops about farming and floral arrangement.

Brian Brigantti (@redleafranch)

In March 2020 photographer Brian Brigantti, and his partner Domonick Gravine, left city life behind and haven't looked back. They moved to a homestead in Tennessee, where Brigantti documents their new life, and serves as an inspiration to young farmers.

Justin Rhodes (@thejustinrhodesshow)

Permaculturalist, author, and teacher, Justin Rhodes shares resources about permaculture as well as his family's own experience of living on a farm in North Carolina. Particularly compelling is his video series documenting how much food they can grow in 100 days.

Angelique Taylor and David "Kip" Ritchey (@smarterbynature)

After attending a climate march in 2015 Angelique Taylor and Kip Ritchey started thinking about restoring food systems where they live in Florida. Now they own a regenerative farm that sells produce through farmer's markets and directly to local restaurants. One of the best parts of their content is watching how they farm using only hand tools—which means no machinery. My back is aching just looking at them.
